Thinking about the best point to start with my attempt on a proto builder device, I decided best to start here!.
To give you a short introduction about my person best fits to say " I'm a modeller and precision mechanics by heart "!
First of all: my name is Hansjoerg!
When I started RC modelling ( avionics) in 2000 I was in need of a capable CAD system fitting to the needs of free form surface modelling, so since that time I'm busy "riding the white Rhinoceros" ( working with Rhino 3D).

At the beginning and the following years I built the planes I designed by printing out the parts on paper and hand cutting them off the stock, but then decided to setup a router to manufacture the parts with higher precision and lower personal effort.
Planar parts got boring and so I made my experiments with pand heatmolds for closed cell foams

After some variations in size and material strength as molding material ( the little STUKA is about 3.05grams of total weight including reeiver motor lithium accu and actuators)I felt that this activity had shown ist limitations!

So I changed to some more tooling and finally to this little project ( which was my latest one)
[attachment 17162 Allohnezeiger_edited-1.jpg]
Now , after finishing this project and searching for new fields of engagement I cheaply bought some ball rails of superb quality on ebay which would perfectly fit to a prototyping device of non defined kind.
So I joined this forum to learn more - especially about the electronics and software things, I did not invest that much time in over the last few years.
Now , I hope this introduction did not take too long, but shows up a little about my history and background!
Have a good time building ( as I would like to have)!
Yours Hansjoerg
